The air conditioning in Professor Bell's classroom was broken. Fortunately for him, he didn't care, because he was dead. Sweating wasn't really a thing that happened to dead people. It was less fortunate for his students, because his classroom was in the basement and they couldn't crack a window. It made Subcultures of the Late Eastern Roman Empire an even less appealing class than it was on the face of it, particularly in conjunction with Bell's reputation as a hard-ass.
It all worked out in his favor, because barely anyone signed up for his classes anymore. He liked research more than teaching. His ideal class would actually just be a book club. Finding someone to talk about The Holy War for Constantinople and the Clash of Islam and the West with him was hard.
It was eight in the morning on a Monday, and he already knew that no students were going to show up to class. Everyone ditched Monday morning classes. Everyone. Even most of the other professors ditched Monday morning classes. But he showed up early anyway and pretended he was getting ready to teach class, because... well. Professionalism. And all.
Mostly, he just didn't have anything better to do with his undeath. This was a late class for him, anyway.
He didn't bother turning on the lights as long as it was just him, because he could see just fine in the pitch black. He had his headphones on, enormous and almost as big as his head and absolutely dwarfing the phone they were plugged into. Enhanced vampire hearing was a pain in the dick, but noise reduction and noisy music helped. He shrugged out of his coat to clear the old blackboard, because he didn't want chalk dust on it and he knew he was the only one tall enough to clean the entire thing. One of many reasons he was the only professor willing to put up with a classroom that hadn't been renovated yet.
Next year he would need to get a taller TA. Who ditched class more often. And who didn't look at him all...
... weird.
